PE R510 of the SAS addition to the installed system with SATA drives

Hello

We have a server PE510 that came with 2 drives 2 TB SATA 7.2 k and a Controller PERC SAS 6/iR.   The servers of the machine as a SQL server (its original purpose) and later on, a busy file server.  The file server role was not originally intended for this machine.  What we are seeing is very bad I/O bottleneck during daily use, although only about a dozen people access to this server.   (I got the system extracted by pressing more than once).

I wonder if replace drives with SAS will help solve this problem.  There are 6 empty bays on the system.

Would I be able to add 3-6 SAS disks to this system (in addition to the installed SATA disks), in order to create a new RAID volume and move the files to it on SATA volumes?   The existing SATA drives are in a RAID1 volume.

Thank you

Thank you

I wonder if replace drives with SAS will help solve this problem.  There are 6 empty bays on the system.

Replacement by SAS will probably help, but your bottleneck is your controller, not your type of disc.  There is no easy way to migrate a Windows installation of a SAS 6/iR to a PERC 6 / i, but if you were to move the PERC, you will see a substantial improvement.  The other problem is that, because you can not mix SAS and SATA disks in a virtual disk, you would have to do a backup/restore for the SAS VD (you would not be able to rebuild a SAS drive in the existing table to replace one at a time).

Yes, you can add the SAS drives for the system and more SATA drives.  Note, however, that 1) the SAS 6/iR controller only supports 2 virtual drives, while a VD can be added, and 2) the SAS 6/iR controller only supports RAID 0 and 1, would be so the only way to add disks "3-6" in a RAID 0, which leaves your data at extreme risk.

    Hello

    I m wondering why you need to install the SATA drivers if you have already installed Win XP on this NB200?

    > To make installation CD, I had to modify the "controller" SATA "from"AHCI"to"Compatibility"mode
    If you have changed the SATA compatibility mode then the SATA drivers are not necessary because the HARD disk controller does not run in SATA mode!

    If the system still boot and CD/DVD Burns just put in a DVD-R (write once) or DVD - RW (burn
    several times)-it will encourage - when its ready use Windows Explorer to drag and drop files (and
    their content) on the DVD. When you're ready, click BURN. I would like to make a couple of each DVD for
    Security with redundancy. These will not be encrypted and you can access the files out of them or
    subsequently copy on a hard drive.

    Basically, make sure you know what you want to copy the files and put them in a blank DVD to write.

    ---------------------

    If the system does not start, then you will need to put the drive in another computer or in a
    External enclosure USB so you can copy files to removable media.

  • Cannot install VMware ESXi 4.1 "cannot find the image of the installed system.

    Started in iso ESXi 4.1 downloaded, burned on a CD, CD, go to the screens, press F11 to install.  Immediately get the following error:

    -


    The installation operation failed!

    The installation operation encountered a fatal error:

    Cannot find the image of the installed system.  This is due to the image being not mounted correctly or the CD-ROM not supported.

    -


    The material is a system of handcrafted with Intel DQ35JO Council, latest version of the BIOS, Intel E6850 CPU, 8 GB of RAM, 2 SATA drives.  I know this isn't on the list compatible but is a 'white box '.  I installed ESXi 3.5 on it in the past and got it working, and I saw other success stories with this Board/CPU.  Yes, I have activated the virtualization mode in the BIOS and powered down/up.

    Here is what I tried:

    -Redownload VMware-VMvisor-Installer - 4.1.0 - 260247.x86_64.iso to ensure that it was not corrupt (2 copies, against perfectly)

    --Also tried another drive (IDE) CDROM

    -Created a bootable USB using uNetBootin 4.7.1 and booted from it

    -Switched SATA setting in the BIOS from AHCI to IDE

    I get the same exact error.  I searched here and everywhere and don't find any reference to this error.

    Help - all do you offer for my next step?

    Have you had a previous vSphere installed on your system?

    I had the same error on my 'white box' (in fact, it is black).  I used to run esxi 4.0 (u2) on my Acer X 3300 (6 GB, Quad Core AMD Athlon II).  Controllor internal SATA is not supported, but it allows me to use the box for normal windows task and ESXi is sitting on a SDHC 4 GB flash card.

    When I started my freshly burned ESX4.1 cdrom, I got the same error.   I thought that the fact that maybe there was an existing install on my destination drive (the flash memory card), and that the CD could not perform an upgrade.

    So, I tried the upgrade path (first trying to utility of the host and the .xml error message).  After reading the manual, I did the upgrade from 4.0 to 4.1 using the device of vMA and I must say that esxi 4.1 works great on my white box.

    Then I suggest that you try upgrading and see how far that gets you.

    Good luck (and a beautiful weekend)

  • should I have got windows xp with my operating system disk, I bought the xp system with code authenticticatioin

    I bought a dual pentium with acer moniter windows home edition OS prossesor .should I got the new cd with my package?

    Maybe and maybe not.  You should have been provided with some means to reinstall Windows on your machine should something bad happen.

    If you have purchased an OEM machine (such as HP, Dell, E-machines brand name, etc.), in the old days, the manufacturer will provide a DVD to reinstall Windows.  More recently, they save the expense of the DVD and provide a recovery Partition on the hard drive that can be activated by pressing a key or combination of keys to the start screen very first from the switching on of the machine.  In addition, they generally provide a way for you to burn your own DVDs (only once) for use as a backup hard drive to go belly.  In any case, if you have an OEM machine, you should go to the manufacturer's Web site and download the manual for your computer.  Everything should be revealed it has appliqu' to your machine.

    If you bought a PC to measure with a copy retail XP, then I would expect that you should have been provided with a DVD or instructions on how to make your own backup OS installation to reinstall Windows.

    MacBook 1.1, white, plastic, 2.0/2x1GB/80GB/SD/USB.

    It used a lot, but want to keep going for special purposes.  Get kernel panic/black screen when I try to reinstall the operating system on a blank disc;  deleted before trying to reinstall Lion 10.7.3.  Tried other earlier versions of operating system.  Reinstall the memory chips and ordered new ones as a bet.  Made a "Lion" partition the Middle clone backup FW for my MacBook Pro, but there now El Capitan; window said I have bad installer in MB Pro; Cannot install on this new FW partition, but I don't know if this will help anyway.  Must be HW problem; nothing on the MacBook drive.   Diagnosis I could not complete either.  Impossible to wipe FW with the MB Pro, Lion and other stuff loading to attack the problem of HW?   Don't know how to do in this regard.  A new Disk Warrior 5 and old Tech Tool Pro.  Apple HW Test on the original disc from MacBook will not appear either?   Difficult OB!    Challenge yourself, please!   New mem circuits can do. ??

    So I'll try to attack it from the external hard drive, of course, I have to.   But how to find and eliminate the block HW?   Finally, go ask Apple support.

    It doesn't let me finish any operation!

    According to Mactracker, a Macbook 1.1 is limited to Snow Leopard 10.6, as the new OSX compatible.  Do you mean you had lion (10.7) installed?

  • Satellite A100: How to reinstall the operating system with recovery CD?

    Hi guys,.

    My laptop (8 months) has been crashing (Windows XP) lately and I tried to use the product recovery CD but nothing happened (the laptop failed to boot from the CD, instead, she starts toward the window of connection for Windows XP Home edition). When I open the CD in windows Explorer, then I realized it was empty. Is it supposed to be empty?

    Even if the laptop came with a second CD, "Express Media Player Recovery CD", I think that's going to be for recovering pre-installed software supplied with the system.

    I guess I can contact Toshiba for another free product recovery CD (or are they supposed to be two?) my system is still under warranty.

    Please I need confirmation on this asap.

    Post edited by: [email protected]_UK

    Hello

    It's very strange, I can't believe that the Toshiba Recovery CD is empty!
    There must certainly be a ghost image.
    Very, very strange and mysterious

    The Express Media Player recovery CD retrieves only the Media Express Player but not the entire operating system!
    I also recommend to ask the ASP in your country for a replacement CD recovery.
    Perhaps you could send guys the empty recovery CD because they do not believe! ;)

  • Targeting different versions of the operating system with the same code

    Hello again,

    I'm looking to use some features of the OS 5.0 such as the transitional API.  Is there sort of having a base code that will compile in different versions of the JDE, but exclude the code blocks if the OS does not meet the requirements?

    For example, transitions on a device to OS 5.0 but not appear on device OS 4.5.

    Ideally, I'm looking for a solution that would integrate directly with Eclipse and debug without any extra steps in the two versions of the operating system.

    Try to do research on the "preprocessor directives", you can use this to do what you need.

    Basically, you wrap the code OS 5.0 in the guidelines such as:

    #ifdef VER_5
    System.out.println ("This compile for 5.0");
    #else
    System.out.println ("This compiles for no 5.0");
    #endif

    Then, enable you or disable directives in the compiler generate COD versions for each platform.

  • Installation of the Adobe software with two drives.

    Hey guys,.

    I am quite new to all the creative aspect of Adobe and all cloud recently decided to buy Illustrator CC. My computer is running two separate hard drives, SSD (120 GB) which runs as C: drive that works my OS. And a (2 TB) HARD disk, which stores all the data of my loose to save space on the D: drive. As I said, I bought Illustrator and downloaded on my computer with no problems and it is automatically installed on my D: drive. I tried to run but a mistake came say Adobe Application Manager was either missing or damaged, so I tried a reinstall and placed him on the D: drive. It worked, but when I launched the app, it came up saying "update... "and the completed tab shut and disappear and nothing else would be open. I tried opening HERE and the same error came. I realized, then, that the application of CC (which is installed with Amnesty International) was located on the C: drive somehow and I am unable to move due to a file that runs in the folder. It appears in the taskbar, but the icon is grayed out and when I click on the application with a gray icon spinning there constantly and it attempts to open several times that turns into a chore using my other programs. I have exhausted my own efforts to understand what the problem is and because of the amount of money I spent on this software, I would be very grateful as soon I can really use it.

    Thank you!

    So, after a few hours with online help, we managed to understand that my directories have messed up in the registry. After changing the locations to the C: drive we reinstalled creative cloud and it worked perfectly.

  • ESXi on the host system with a physical restriction of the MAC

    Hi all!

    We have installed on a host system, located in the data center with restriction of MAC on a physical map of ESXi.

    Earlier, we have VMWare Server 2 with bridged network, it was not a problem.

    All virtual servers is accessible via port forwarding.

    About ESXi I can't found any solution to create the bridged network.

    Please give me a tip on how to solve this problem.

    Create a vswitch with no physical cards.  To connect VM to that (and a management vmkernel ESXi).

    Next, install a virtual firewall as vyatta connected to the vswitch isolated and the default vswitch with the physical card.  Then configure port forwarding rules as required.
